Emergency braking system erroneously activated causing car to suddenly brake; no direct consequence at time however could easily cause accident; has not been investigated by any entity; no warnings prior to incident

- Chesterfield, MO, USA

While I have been driving the automatic braking system will engage bringing the car to a stop. This has happened on several occasions while I have driving on the toll road at 65 miles/hr and on residential streets. Each time the car dramatically slows and the orange brake like flashes. These incidents have occurred with no cars surrounding my car, it just occurs out of the blue. I'm reporting because this occurred this past weekend and it brought my car to a dead stop slamming me and my passenger, our seat belts stop us from hitting the steering wheel or glove box. I thought there would be a recall to correct, but I have not seen any notices from the federal government on this matter. I thought I better report. Note: the last incident happen 2/19/22 while driving on residential street.

I was driving and the car in front of me braked. My car suddenly slammed on the brakes and stopped. It was very scary, as it was completely unnecessary and I was not in danger of hitting the car in front of me. It almost caused an accident with the car before me that had to suddenly stop.

- Arvada, CO, USA

On five separate occasions, my Honda CR-V, the collision mitigation braking system (CMGS) slammed on the brakes and stopped the car when I was approaching a flat plate on the road. I had no vehicle even close in front of my car. The BRAKE light flashes everytime this happens. On four of those occasions, I have narrowly averted being hit from behind. Thank goodness, I had slowed down to under 25 MPH, but everything in the car went flying. My safety, the safety of my dog who was tethered in the back seat, the safety of my grandchildren in the back seat and the safety of the car behind me in traffic was at risk. I have found that this system can be turned off, but this has to be done everytime the car is started. I can see other reports of this problem on the Internet. My next step is to take it to the dealer.

My 2017 C R V Honda has twice experienced sudden and unexpected braking. The first time it braked very hard and displayed warning lights at the same time. The car was clean and no obstructions were present. My speed was approximately 40 mph. There was no traffic in front or behind me. The second time there was no traffic and the car didn-??t brake as hard. There was a warning light at the same time as the braking occurred. Lately I-??ve also had problems with the ADAS system. Several times it has disabled itself and displayed multiple warning messages. I-??ve brought these problems to the Honda dealership attention with no satisfaction and only getting generic answers.

- Chillicothe, OH, USA

I have experienced automatic emergency braking of my vehicle at various times for no reason ~ I was not approaching another car or in congested traffic. Fortunately, in every instance, there has not been another vehicle immediately behind me. I have communicated this problem verbally to the Honda dealer and was advised all systems appear to be functioning correctly. The most severe instance was when I was going over a metal plate placed over the roadway during street repair. At other times, it will happen when approaching one particular intersection in my city. In any event, something in the automatic braking system is flawed. Good idea but there are dangerous "bugs" that need to be worked out.

- Bainbridge Island, WA, USA

On at least two occasions, I have been driving at Interstate speeds in the Peoria IL and Danville IL metro regions, and the car has braked hard, with the warning of a forward collision imminent. In one instance I was driving west on I-74 at the east most end of the Murray Baker Bridge when the car break was applied automatically, reducing my speed by about 20 miles per hour while there was traffic behind me. No injuries. At the time I assumed it was the angle of the car going up the hill onto the bridge, and that the car detected the bridge structure above. In the other incident, I was driving in Danville IL with no traffic anywhere near me, and the car beeped, alerted that the forward collision was imminent, and the breaks were applied hard. It possibly reduced my speed 10 MPH or so, but was hard enough for my body to move forward. No cars around, no obstacles around. I had no idea what the vehicle detected. It was not raining or snowing, or anything like that at the time of either incident.

Randomly, on at least three occasions our car activated the brake system and gave us a 'brake' warning on the dash when no obstacle or vehicle was in front of our car. I read of this problem being reported in the media and thought it was important to record our experience with nhtsa.

System Failure: Fuel Emissions System Problem and all other warning lights are on. Safety: Cruise control does not function and automatic breaking does not function. Dealership: Yes, the problem was reproduced even after the spark plugs and rocket arm assembly were replaced inside the limits of the 6 year unlimited mileage warranty. The dealership acknowledged that 5 or 6 other customers were in with similar complaints this month. Others: an independent garage inspected the vehicle and confirmed that a warranty should cover this problem some 8 months ago. Indications are a weak cylinder may be the root cause of the fuel emissions system problem in addition to the fuel injectors and pipes. Warning lamps, messages and other symptoms were present prior to the failure and appeared well before the manufacturer's warranty expired. The dealership we purchased the vehicle from failed to locate the problem and did not repair when we first discovered the problem and brought the vehicle in for repair in 11/2020. We recently contacted Honda Corporation directly and they gave us a case number for reference while they review this complaint.

All the warning lights come on while driving. I have to disconnect the battery to reset it. I get the brake warning signal when no other vehicles are around. At times my vehicle will slow down with no other vehicles close to me. This issue could cause an accident if someone is around. I had to turn the walk away feature off due to the alarm continuously sounding. My vehicle was inspected by a dealer for the issue with the alarm sounding. They weren-??t able to give a definite cause and suggested I turn the walk away feature off. The other issues have been occurring since February of 2020 and have not been inspected. My vehicle is available for inspection. All of these issues occur at different times. The warning lights started coming back on October 15, 2021.

The electrical wiring malfunctioned and all the warning notifications are sounding on the dashboard. Tire Monitoring System, Brake System, Brake Hold System, Vehicle Stability Problem, Hillside Assist Problem, Road Departure Migration System, etc... Also, the Emergency Brake engages every time the car turns off. We cannot disable this feature. We have to take the emergency brake off every time we turn the car on. When this happens, the only way to terminate the warning notifications is to disconnect the battery and wait 15-20 minutes. We are concerned the emergency brake could malfunction and engage when the car is driving.

Problem 1: My car has 30,000 miles but her Honda since it is past the 36 months it is no longer under warranty. Problem 2: I feel this is a safety issue due to the nature of the failure and the consequences of an immediately failure rendering the car undriveable. This is how the problem unfolded. I started the car. Immediately "System failures" started scrolling across the dash system including Power Brake Failure. I called Honda service, explained what was happening, and Per the Honda service representative, I was told I could drive the car in. I explained the car would not come out of park thus I could not drive it. I was then told how to manually get the car out of park to drive it in for evaluation. I put it in reverse to get out of the garage and when I tried to stop the car I and had no brakes or steering. I got the car to stop by standing with both feet and all my weight on the brake peddle. I Had towed on a flat bed tow truck into Ed Napleton Honda. I was told by Honda that they have never seen this system failure without "a rodent being involved" as they chew threw the housing and then chew on the wires causing the electrical problem. After about 36 hours I was called and told that they had to replace the Brake Power Booster sensor, "no evidence of rodent involvement" and no explanation of why the part failed. I was informed that before further evaluation could be done there was no choice but to replace the Power Booster. I was told it would be $2600 and that even if it was not the problem, I had to pay for the repair for they could continue the evaluation process. This is 3 X the cost of the part per another source I called. I also feel I could have been killed/injured or killed and/or injured other people on the road if this had happened when I was driving as there was no pre warning of the problem and having the Certified Service Associate telling me to drive the car knowing that I had total system failure's scrolling across my dash.

2017 Honda CRV Touring 19, 647 miles. As I was approaching a red light, I stepped on my brake to slow down and brake for the red light. Upon trying to stop, I had NO BRAKE POWER WHATSOEVER. Having no brake power I could not stop, I did have an accident and hit another vehicle. My vehicle still would not stop as I continued to try and brake. I drifted approximately 1/2 mile from the accident until it fully stopped. My airbag went off and my Honda Link did contact the police and ambulance. I had minor injuries and just went to my primary physician. I do have a police report. At this time it is at an independent collision center, once repaired it will go to Honda for scanning and diagnose. I am told it can be repaired, BUT, who will diagnose why this happened, and I don-??t know why automatic emergency braking system didn-??t work.

Our SUV continues to have issues with the dashboard. It shows errors then it won't start. We are rebooting it at least twice a month. We have replaced the battery and had to call roadside assistance. The incidents happen while driving.

I was driving my 2017 Honda CRV last night and out of nowhere, all warning lights came on across the dashboard, including disabling traction control, anti-lock brakes and emissions safety, among many other errors. These systems provide safe driving so they are essential for use, and also frightening to have deactivated when cruising down the street in downtown denver, surrounded by traffic and pedestrians. The car has literally every single warning light on, including the check engine light. Turning the car on and off several times did not fix it and so it will need dealer repair. Upon doing research, I've noticed that this is a widespread issue with 2017-2018 Honda crvs and is affecting a lot of other drivers. This car feels very unsafe if all the electrical systems kick on and off as they please, seemingly at random. Videos here from two separate occasions: Https://www.icloud.com/photos/#0ahxlsvcycstsnvsomnwsma4A other complaints: Https://www.crvownersclub.com/threads/dashboard-warning-lights-on-my-2017-Honda-CRV.215449/ https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-T76546_ds1113654 https://www.carcomplaints.com/Honda/CR-V/2017/accessories-interior/all_dash_lights_flashing.shtml

Entire operation system for vehicle was affected causing immediate vehicle failure. Unable to pull over or move out of traffic. Extremely dangerous malfunction with complete loss of control at high speed with no warning. All dash lights lit up/blinking. Many system errors displayed on main driver screen near steering wheel. The screen errors quickly read through multiple errors, including power steering loss, tire pressure loss, hill control loss, etc. The screens were going so quickly and car was beeping like it had low gas. But the only thing we could do was get to the side of the highway. We have driven thousands of miles in many types of cars and situations and this was by far one of the worst malfunctions we have ever experienced. If there is an electronic problem or situation where your car is breaking then it should say pull over immedately. It was no help to flash through an array of features on the car having error. This needs to be recalled!

2017 Honda CRV ex-L AWD, purchased new Dec 2017, about 37K miles on it currently. A couple of days ago- on 1/27/2021- I was driving with my family (wife and two toddlers) on highway route 4 westbound in NJ going about 50mph with moderate traffic, when all of a sudden - brake system failure and all error messages appeared on the dashboard. I frantically tried to brake but the brake pedal was stiff and could not be depressed. I tried repeatedly to slam on the brakes cause the car in front of me was approaching fast and thankfully after several attempts the brakes were able to be depressed and I safely pulled over to the nearest strip mall parking lot with all the error messages flashing and brake system illuminated, I took photos and video on my phone and just made sure we were all ok. My wife and I were totally freaked out cause if we weren't able to stop we would definitely have rear ended the approaching vehicle in front of us at 50mph causing an accident. In the parking lot, we turned off the car and back on and the error messages disappeared and I was able to cautiously drive back home. We are very concerned about our safety in this vehicle if this happens again. Error messages have occurred once or twice in the past in inclement weather and a few of the driver assist features were not working due to the weather. But nothing like this has happened before with brake system failure / inability to depress the brake pedal and all errors flashing on the dashboard. If I bring it into the dealership I read online that if they're not able to replicate the errors then it doesn't exist. Please advise. Thank you.

The safety feature reacts to shadows on the road. This has happened 3-4 times where if I'm driving under a bridge the car will beep and show a message asking me to hit the brakes. I think the car sees the shadow of the bridge on the road in front of me as an object and is asking me to stop/ hit the brakes. If the car ever applies automatic braking, then the car behind me can slam into me causing an accident.
